IMPROVEM ENT IN CANDLESTICKS.

Spcciiication forming part of Letters Patent No. 210.790, dated December l0, 1878; application filed November 2. 1878.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it lrnown that I, L: LEONARD, of El Do rado, in the county of Butler and State of Kansas, have invented a new and valuable Im provement in Candlesticks and Molds; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description ofthe construction and operation of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making, a part of this specification, and to the letters and figures ot' reference marked thereon.

Figure l of the drawings is a representation of aside elevation, partly in section 5 and Fig. 2 is a perspective view ofthe wick-holder.

My invention relates to a combined candlestick and mold for ina-kine; candles; and the novelty consists in the construction and arrangement of parts, as will be more fully hereinafter set forth and pointed out in the claims.

In carrying out my invention I employ the usual form of base and standard for the candlestiel, except that the standard is longer, and is provided with a pin on the top to pierce the bottom end of the candle, and a hook to engage the wick. Upon this standard operates a cylinder, havin` a spring` which binds upon the standard, and affords an adjustability vertically.

A wick-holder of bent wire operates over the capiiange of the cylinder Aand serves to hold the upper end of the wick, is removable, and is sprung upon the said iiange. Ahinged cap covers the upper end of the`candle when not in use.

Referring to the drawings, A represents the base, with handle c and standard A', of usual construction, except that the standard acts as an :imperforate core, and is provided upon its upper end with a wick-hook, y, and apin, B represents a cylinder adapted to receive and operate over the standard A', and it is provided with a friction-spring', 11, at the bottom, and a hinged cap, bl, at the upper end. C represents a wick-holder ot spring-wire, adapted to clasp the iange b2 of the cylinder.

The Wick, being attached below to the book y, and above to the spring` wicliwholder C, is held in the center otl the cylinder B, which cylinder is moved and held upward on the standard A'. The tallow, wax, or the like is poured into the mold thus made, and when cool the candle is ready for use by moving;` the cylinder downward.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

l. The base A a., having imperforate standard A', with hook y 'and pin x, constructed and adapted to operate, in relation to an adjustable cylinder, as set forth.

2. The cylinder B, having friction-spring` b, in combination with the imperforate standard A', having pin as set forth.

3. The spring,` wicleholder C and cylinder B b2, in combination with the standard A', pin w, and hook y, as set forth.

4. The base A, standard A', pin fr, hook y, as shown, in combination with the cylinder B, spring b, cap bl, flange b2, and spring wickholdcr G, as and for the purpose set forth.

In testimony that I claim the above I have hereunto subscribed my name in the presence of two witnesses.

L: LEONARD.
